Philippines, U.S. Announce Locations of Four New EDCA Sites

Our Bureau - : Apr 4, 2023 - : 12:33 am

The United States and the Philippines will expand the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Arrangement (EDCA) to include four new sites: Naval Base Camilo Osias in Santa Ana, Cagayan; Camp Melchor Dela Cruz in Gamu, Isabela; Balabac Island in Palawan; and Lal-lo Airport in Cagayan.

In addition to the five existing sites, these new locations will strengthen the interoperability of the U.S. and Philippine Armed Forces and allow the two countries to respond more seamlessly together to address a range of shared challenges in the Indo-Pacific region, including natural and humanitarian disasters. The Department of Defense will work together with the Philippine Department of National Defense and Armed Forces to rapidly pursue modernization projects at these locations.

The U.S. will expand funding on top of the US$82 million it has already allocated toward infrastructure investments at the existing EDCA sites. The United States and the Philippines have stood shoulder-to-shoulder as friends and allies for more than seven decades.
